Dehumidifier in a Fish Room

Outlet won't help but if you drew moist air from the room (inlet on your return air) it would condense on the A coil (just like your dehumidifier).

Anyone know if its possible to disable the heating coil in a dehumidifier?

I think typically the heating is the side effect from cooling process. Just like an ac unit the process involved creates heat during the compressing stage. This heat has to go somewhere and for AC units it's exhausted outside, for dehumidifiers it's used to reheat the air. The air gets hotter due to the inefficiency of the process.

Marko you still living with your parents ? I can't recall.

If so it would help if people knew that modifying your parents house with something like HRV is prObably not going to happen.

My dehumidifier heats my room like crazy too. Crazy.
